Pera - Turkish Mangal & Meze Bar

I tasted some nights ago with some friends the delicious food in this restaurant. quiet atmosphere, really nice eating and very good service. chef stepped out to personally ask how everything was. very recommended! Lamb tasted amazing.

Far too crampy, they should be at a bigger place, the personal was unstoppable and the manager/owner was rude, rude and brash. I don't know (although I don't believe) if that's my wrong interpretation of Turkish culture, but I came away, felt very mistreated. in such a place, eating must be amazing. here it was mediocre soggy, and our were on the theke for much too long before they were even brought to us. will not come back, strongly recommend them not go.

Though the decor doesn't quite transport you to Istanbul the beautiful, traditional coffee cups and Turkish trivets get you a little closer. So does the food, which was tasty and plentiful (the jam laced with rosewater and the sausage slices cooked into the fried eggs were particularly good) and very reasonably priced 7 all...read more
